TRANSPORTATION LIABILITY
In arranging for the transportation of Guests to and from the ship or for
excursions, accommodations or any other activities away from the ship,
Norwegian does so only as a convenience to the Guest. The Guest hereby
agrees that Norwegian shall not be liable or responsible in any respect for any
property damage or personal injury arising from the selection of any mode of
transportation, accommodation, excursion or activity on the Guest's behalf.
* Norwegian disclaims any responsibility for personal injury or property
damage arising out of the acts, omission or negligence of any air carrier,
hotel, restaurateur or other provider of services offered in addition to the
ship's cruise, such as concessionaires operating photography, shops,
beauty salon, laundry, gaming and entertainment, etc.
* Norwegian shall not be responsible for any damage or inconvenience
caused by late air, car or motorcoach arrivals, nor for any personal injuries
or loss or damage to baggage or other property occurring off the ship.
* Any liability for loss or damage to personal baggage is in accordance with
the Guest Ticket Contract provisions. Guests' baggage and property are
transported, stored and handled at owners' risk at all times.
* Expenses of any kind, including fines, penalties, duties or other charges
incurred by Norwegian and attributable to the Guest's failure to comply
with regulations of the ship or any governmental authority, shall be
paid to Norwegian by Guest on demand. The Guest shall be liable to
Norwegian and shall reimburse Norwegian for all loss, damage or delay
sustained by Norwegian because of any act or omission of the Guest.
* Norwegian is not responsible or liable for any loss, theft, pilferage, damage
or delay to Guests' baggage or personal effects. Air, car, motorcoach,
motorlaunch and ground transfer shall be the responsibility of the provider of
the services and in accordance with applicable limitations.
* As a convenience to Guests, Norwegian may sell tickets for shoreside
tours or arrange other services which are operated by independent
contractors, but Norwegian shall not be responsible in any way
whatsoever for any damage, loss, injury or death arising out of any
service provided ashore or by any airline, motel, hotel, ground carrier or
any other provider of any of the services provided or offered in addition
to the ship's cruise.
* Norwegian also reserves the right to change or abandon all or any part of
a tour program or other services provided by third parties and to change
the itinerary whenever advisable or necessary. In this case, Norwegian
will not be responsible for any losses or expenses caused by reason of
such changes or abandonment.
* Norwegian's responsibility does not extend beyond the ship. Therefore,
any arrangements made by or for Guests, either before boarding the ship
or whenever disembarking entirely from the ship, are at the Guests' own
risk. Guests going ashore on their own are responsible for reboarding
the ship prior to departure from port.
TRANSFERS
Airport to pier (if applicable) transfers and vice versa are available for
purchase for all Guests. Guests who want to purchase transfers should
contact our Reservations Department. All Guests who purchase transfers
will receive a transfer voucher prior to departure. Upon arrival in the city of
embarkation, Guests should proceed to the baggage claim area to claim
their luggage. A Norwegian representative will meet them in the baggage
claim area on domestic flights and outside of customs on international flights
to assist with their transportation to the ship or hotel (if applicable). For
cruise-only Guests booking their own return flights, we suggest a departure
time no less than six hours after the announced arrival time of the ship.
AMTRAK® TRAIN SERVICE
Ride the rails to your departure city and get a discount off the price of
your train fare (restrictions and blackout dates apply). To make your
reservation, simply contact your travel professional and let them know
you are sailing with Norwegian and they will help you take care of the
®
rest. If you have a group of 20 or more, you may contact Amtrak 's Group
Travel Desk directly at 1.800.USA.1GRP. To make your trip more relaxing,
arrive a day or two before your cruise and you can take advantage of our
cost-saving hotel packages.
AIR TICKETING
Norwegian's Air/Sea program is operated and ticketed by Norwegian. Airline
tickets are issued on fares that are capacity controlled and highly restrictive,
so airline tickets may not be reissued or exchanged for another carrier or
routing. Infants must have tickets on all international flights.

AIRLINE PROCEDURES AND RESTRICTIONS
The terms of the air transportation will be governed by the air carrier
ticket contract and Norwegian's Guest Ticket Contract. Norwegian
reserves the right to choose the air carrier, routing and city airport from
each gateway city and to substitute commuter service and/or charter
air service for scheduled air carriers without prior notice. All terms
and conditions governing Norwegian's Air/Sea Program and the air
transportation arranged by Norwegian will equally apply to such chartered
air service. Flight schedules may not, in some cases, be the most direct,
and connections, layovers and involuntary overnights en route may be
necessary. The cost of such overnight arrangements (food, lodging,
transfers and items of a personal nature) will be the Guests' responsibility.
Air schedules for some cruise destinations may require utilizing flights
that depart in the evening hours and arrive the following day. Actual flight
schedules, fare basis and applicable rules cannot be committed until
airline tickets are issued. Within 14 days of sailing, all Air/Sea gateways
are on a request basis only. Air/Sea gateway cities may be withdrawn
at any time without prior notice. Norwegian will not be responsible for
any expenses or other consequences resulting from inclement weather,
strikes, flight cancellations, changes/delays in the ship's schedule or a
change/delay in schedule or routing made by a Guest, travel agent or
airline. Additionally, Norwegian is not responsible for Airline-imposed
fees, such as baggage fees and seat assignment fees. These are the
responsibility of the Guest. If, due to any cause beyond Norwegian's
control, Norwegian is unable to arrange air travel (including, for example,
because of capacity controls placed upon us by airlines due to types of
fares under which Norwegian books), or the air travel Norwegian arranges
is unavailable or otherwise fails to materialize, Norwegian's sole liability
will be limited to refunding the air add-on amount paid to Norwegian.
AIR CHARGES
Air Charges include any and all fees, charges and taxes related to air
transportation imposed by U.S. and/or foreign governmental or quasigovernmental authorities, such as passenger and airport facility charges, air
departure taxes, foreign airport taxes, customs/immigration/security fees,
airport service charges and inspection fees. Air Charges are additional,
vary by gateway city and routing and are subject to change. Air Charges are
estimated and billed by gateway city and routing and are noncommissionable.
Actual Air Charges may be higher or lower than the amount quoted. Refunds
will not be made if actual Air Charges are lower than the amount quoted. If
actual Air Charges are higher than the amount quoted, Norwegian reserves
the right to collect the difference. Certain countries require Guests to pay
an airport departure tax that may not be included on the Guest's air ticket.
This tax is collected at the airport and may have to be paid in local currency.
This tax is the responsibility of each individual Guest. Cancellation fees are
assessed for any air changes or deviations.
SEAT ASSIGNMENTS AND SPECIAL AIR SERVICE REQUESTS
Norwegian cannot confirm seat assignments. We recommend that you or your
travel professional contact the airlines directly for seat assignments. Specific
air service requests, such as special meals or the addition of Frequent Flyer
numbers to your airline records, should be made directly to the airlines.
TRAVEL PROTECTION
Important note: This is just a summary of coverage. Please refer to the
BookSafe Travel Protection information booklet available on our website
at ncl.com to review the terms, conditions and exclusions and other
applicable limitations. The Travel Protection Plan cost may be paid at
any time, from deposit up to and including final payment; however, trip
cancellation coverage takes effect only upon payment of your Travel
Protection cost. All other coverage is effective upon your departure for
your trip. Payment of your cruise fare deposit without Travel Protection will
not activate your coverage.
Important note: Cruise credits cannot be applied to government taxes and
fees, air add-ons, land packages, travel protection, Shore Excursions,
gratuities, incidentals or any purchases of a personal nature. They
are nontransferable and may not be combined with other cruise credit
certificates or fare reduction coupons. For more information visit ncl.com.

Rates are per person based upon each Guest's share of the total
fare paid. Should you cancel your reservation before the cancellation
period begins, the plan cost will be completely refunded. Note: Rates
are subject to change; however, once a rate is quoted with Guest's
booking, that rate will not change unless as a result of changes made to
a Guest's total fare paid.
Group space held prior to 5/1/17 will be protected at previous
premiums. New reservations made or space added to groups after
5/1/17 will be at higher premiums.
APPLICABLE LAW AND FORUM AND LIMITATIONS
ON ACTIONS
Any and all disputes or matters whatsoever incident to, arising from,
or connected with the Guest Ticket Contract or your cruise shall be
governed by the provisions relating to choice of law, forum selection
and certain limitations on your rights to bring a cause of action against
Norwegian. Guests should read the Guest Ticket Contract terms and
conditions carefully, paying particular attention to Sections 5, 10 and 14
for full information on choice of law, forum selection and limitations on
your rights. A copy of the Guest Ticket Contract terms and conditions is
available upon request and can be reviewed at ncl.com.
YOUR TRAVEL PROFESSIONAL
Your travel professional acts for you in making the arrangements for your
cruise and any related travel, lodging and tours. Norwegian cannot be
responsible for the financial condition or integrity of any travel professional
utilized by you. Norwegian is not responsible for any representations or
conduct of your travel professional, including, but not limited to, failure
to remit your deposit or other funds to Norwegian, for which you shall
at all times be liable to Norwegian, or any failure to remit a refund from
Norwegian to you.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Norwegian visits a large number of ports in numerous countries around
the world. At any given moment, there are likely to be "trouble spots" in
the world, in terms of crime and/or war or terrorist actions. Accordingly,
it may be necessary to change the published cruise or Shore Excursion
itinerary. Any such changes are for your safety and beyond Norwegian's
control. While Norwegian endeavors to provide reasonable protection
for your comfort and safety on board its ships, Norwegian cannot
guarantee freedom from all risks associated with war, terrorism, crime
or other potential sources of harm. Norwegian reminds all Guests that
they must ultimately assume responsibility for their actions while ashore.
The U.S. Department of State and other similar government agencies
regularly issue advisories and warnings to travelers, giving details of local
conditions in specified cities and countries according to the agency's
perception of risks to travelers. Norwegian strongly recommends that
Guests and their travel professionals obtain and consider such information
when making travel decisions. Also, please be advised that weapons and
illegal narcotics (including medical marijuana or similar drugs used for
medicinal purposes) are not permitted on board any Norwegian ship.
NOTICE
Norwegian is not responsible or liable for typographical errors, omissions
or misprints. Norwegian further reserves the right to correct or amend
this brochure. This brochure may be withdrawn by Norwegian at any time,
in its sole discretion, without notice to any party. Norwegian shall not be
obligated to honor any booking resulting from, nor shall be responsible
or liable whatsoever in connection with misprints or errors of any kind,
whether in brochures, advertisements, on the Internet, during the booking
process or otherwise that result in Guest being undercharged for a cruise.
Norwegian reserves the right, prior to sailing, to collect the correct fare or
cancel the booking and refund any payment made by Guest.
